AB hal-vault
Securely store, search, and use secrets (API keys, tokens, passwords, SSH keys) with hal-vault, an SSH-key encrypted local secret store. Use when the user shares a credential that should be saved, asks what secrets are stored or where a key is, or when a command/workflow needs a secret injected. Core discipline - never print raw secret values into chat, logs, or files; reference secrets only by their masked form, and use --reveal only to feed another process, never into a command argument (where it lands in the machine's process table) or into text you write down.

As a process B 65/100 · Nearly there — weak spots: result and completion, inputs and preconditions, running it twice
How to improve
- Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
- A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

Process rating: all ten parameters 65/100
- 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 30Running it twice. 8 mutating operations with no state check
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (bash, web) that frontmatter does not declare
- 100Steps. 15 steps
- 100When it triggers. States when to use and when not to
- 100Failures and branches. 1 branches, has a failure section
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 2356 tokens
- 100Progress reporting. Reports progress
- medium Safety rules and hard prohibitions inside a skill: they belong in the system prompt, here they protect nothing
Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
